“I would say that it’s 50-50,” he told Rolling Stone. “A couple of times, when we played back one of the more kick-ass tunes from the new record, he’d be like, ‘This would be great live!’ Of course, everyone was like, ‘What? Did he just say that?’ But other times he’d just roll his eyes if someone brought up playing live.”

The new issue of Uncut, hitting stores on Thursday, contains a full 10 pages of coverage on The Next Day — including the definitive review, an inside look at the album and more.
